White blood cells fighting germs in our body.

From lab to approval in 11 years 🧬 And the thing is, medical applications of CRISPR are just getting started... Just yesterday, the @doudna_lab released two juicy preprints on improved delivery methodologies for CRISPR editing machinery: 1. Lung and liver editing by lipid

The micropipette was invented by a German postdoc in just two days. Heinrich Schnitger's device. made in 1957, had “all the essential features" of a modern pipette. It had a spring-loaded piston, a second spring to shoot out residual liquid, and a plastic tip.

We can fold DNA like origami paper to create smiley faces :) and countless other shapes. This fun experiment has applications in drug delivery and perhaps most notably in CRISPR gene editing. Let me explain 🧵

Making CAR T cells in vivo (& with a TRAC knockout) using a new cell type-specific delivery vehicle! Cool study from @doudna_lab in Nature Biotechnology
